Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
Today let’s look at the first part of this verse: the armor of God,
Notice that we are advised to put on the F U L L armor of God. Anything less is 100% inadequate.
Now putting on the armor only happens as we completely abandon our life to His hope in us and through us. Then we will begin be aware of His presence and protection because we have chosen to yield to His Lordship
But…just what is the armor? It is nothing less than all of God’s resources for us to live triumphantly here and now; name in a spiritual war zone
Now receiving the armor implies that we come into the very presence of God, who will draw our attention to how best to put this armor on so that we are not only protected from the Enemy, but that know Him more, and desire to share His love with others who are going through like hardships
We really do have the victory, Christian!
-Michael
